The weight limit for prizes in a standard toy crane machine typically ranges from 150 to 300 grams (approximately 5 to 10 ounces). This limit is set by the machine's mechanics and the strength of its claw mechanism. Most machines are calibrated for lightweight plush toys, small figurines, or capsule toys that fall within this range. Heavier items risk damaging the machine's motor or causing the claw to malfunction. Operators adjust this limit based on prize density and desired difficulty level. While regulations vary by location, this weight range represents the industry standard for fair gameplay and machine longevity. Understanding this limit helps players set realistic expectations for potential wins.
